May God help my soul!!!!
So yea..
Got a chance to dig into the 96 I just bought.. So far I have cut the airlid, bypassed the TB, installed X pipe and trashed the mufflers. Ive also replaced the water pump, thermostat(160), radiator cap, BOTH coolant temp sensors, flushed the system added new dexcool, replaced cut/brittle vacuum lines.. etc etc all the stuff you do to a car thats been sitting a min.
Yesterday, feeling quite good about everything I washed it and took it out for a spin.. When I got back I noticed something NO c4 owner wants to see..... steam on the windshield!! FACK!!!
Now im mentally taking the dash apart in fleeting moments of the day.. sigh.. bypass maybe in order here.

You have not even scratched the surface of that devil yet.... start with an EXORCISM and say prayers for your personal finances. God be with you my son.

Its summer here in socal.. winter usually doesn't arrive until Jan, so i have some time to think about it.. in the meantime my other c4 has a bad blend door so there is always at least some hot air flowing into the cabin..... go figure right?

This is how I feel about it.. but my female counterpart would be driving this one.. and theres something about girls and "cold" I just dont understand... But then again, this could be a hidden bonus in that she may not drive it often!

In my case, it means the heater core is taking a $hit.. I may have to contort the same way as doing the deed in a c4 to get another one in there.

I did a heater core on an old 89 a while back. Doable, but a PITA. I drive my 91 in constant worry that it too will spring a leak. I had a shop quote me 13 hours on a "new style" C4 interior.

Worst job ever, sold cars over that haha
Look at it this way, one thing you wont have to worry about for a long time. Think DeWitts makes a nice upgraded one, not sure I trust the parts house stuff.

for the tail pipes, long story I ordered some tips from amazon and got them they necked down to 2".. so that didnt work, but I was already there to get the x pipe and deletes done so they went ahead and did the work and just left exhaust pipe sticking out so I can order new tips and put them on later..
They cut the exhaust kinda far back where the pipes are actually 2.75 inch.. so they put 3" from that spot back. does not sound too bad.
I got new tips put on the black car, x pipe installed and muffler delete on the white one for $250 all together. Ill go take some pics and an exhaust video right now since im "working from home".
Jones x pipe, summit got it to me in 1 day:
